Tub’s weight symbolizes dysfunction within friendships. Despite the fact that Tub, Kenny, and Frank are supposedly all friends, Tub and Kenny repeatedly make fun of Tub’s weight and refuse to wait for him when he lags behind. This dynamic emphasizes the various destructive and dysfunctional aspects of the main characters’ overall interpersonal dynamics.
